How to Change Your Company Name in Bulgaria?
Do you need a fresh start or plan to expand your business? Changing your company name is an important step and often part of rebranding, correcting legal inaccuracies, or adapting to new markets. In this guide, we explain how to do it legally in Bulgaria — clearly and stress-free.
Why Change Your Company Name?
There are several valid reasons to consider changing your company name:
🔁 Rebranding: Better alignment with new services or a revised business vision.
🌍 Market expansion: A name that works better for international audiences.
✍️ Corrections: Fixing spelling or legal inaccuracies.
🏢 Structural changes: New ownership or a new business direction.
Regardless of the reason, the procedure must fully comply with Bulgarian legislation.
What Do You Need Before Starting?
Before submitting your application, make sure you have:
🆕 A unique new company name, not already registered. This can be checked in the Commercial Register.
📝 A formal decision by the owner or the General Assembly (depending on whether the company is an EOOD or OOD).
📃 An updated founding document reflecting the new company name.
Step-by-Step: How to Change Your Company Name
Step 1: Make the decision
-
For EOOD — the decision is made by the sole owner.
-
For OOD — the General Assembly prepares an official protocol.
Step 2: Update the founding document
The new company name must be included in the Articles of Association or company statute.
Step 3: Submit documents to the Commercial Register
Documents can be filed online using an electronic signature or submitted in person. Required documents include:
-
Decision for the name change
-
Updated founding document
-
Declarations (e.g. U1, U2 forms)
-
Paid state fee (approximately 30–40 BGN)
Step 4: Approval
If everything is correct, registration is usually completed within 3 to 5 business days.
What to Do After Approval?
Once the name change is officially registered, make sure to update:
🔖 Company stamp, signage, and website
📑 Contracts, invoices, and all business documents
👩💼 Your accountant and business partners
🏦 NAP (National Revenue Agency), banks, and licensing authorities if required
Failing to complete these steps may lead to administrative issues or misunderstandings.
